About this supplement
Sucralose is a synthetic artificial sweetener derived from sugar. It is approximately 600 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) and is commonly used in sugar-free products, including supplements, protein powders, and meal replacement shakes. Sucralose is not metabolized by the body for energy, making it a popular choice for those looking to reduce calorie intake without sacrificing sweetness.
